Arc theme screws up menus with GTK3 applications in XFCE #662

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hi.

Arc theme seems to behave strange with some GTK3 applications when used within XFCE:

My assumption is that could be easily fixed by adding some padding between those menu bar elements in the theme files, but I have a hard time finding out where to look further. I would be thankful for any hint!

Best regards and much respect for this awesome theme, nevertheless, Horst!

Sorry, I only over-looked your project site and just used GitHub in the most intuitive way my brain came up with real quick. Will take care of this in the future, my apologies for the inconveniences.

Okay, please delete ~/.themes/arc/ and follow the manual installation as described in the readme:

Install autoconf and automake. Also, I'm pretty sure VoidLinux has gnome-themes-standard (https://repo.voidlinux.eu/current/gnome-themes-standard-3.20_1.i686.xbps), so install that too, if possible.

Next, execute the following:

git clone https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme --depth 1 && cd arc-theme
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-gnome=3.20
sudo make install

Hi, I have to report full success with both of your themes, Arc and also Vertex.

Vertex looks PRETTY GOOD on my current setup, and it even works for GTK3 applications beautifully like no other theme I got (and believe me I'm into ricing/customizing a lot and I do not often report something like this, ever). This is one of the technically built best themes I have ever seen, and the support you give here is extra-ordinary.

Thanks for your awesome work.
